The son of Charles Bronson has clashed with Ruth Langsford on Friday's edition of This Morning.

He appeared on the ITV daytime favourite to speak about his father, known as Britain's most notorious inmate.

64-year-old Charles has spent most of the last 43 years in jail because of repeated violence towards prison staff and fellow inmates.

Today, George Bamby-Salvador discussed his bizarre first meeting with the violent inmate at Wakefield prison and admitted he believes his father has 'served his time', reports the Mirror.

This Morning host Ruth argued with George over his 'delusional' claims after he admitted he believes his dad is a 'lovely guy' who has 'served his time'.

Bronson has changed is name to Charles Salvador, as a mark of respect to artist Salvador Dali, in an attempt to distance himself from his infamous reputation.

After exchanging letters and artwork, George visited Bronson in solitary confinement in HM Prison Wakefield.

George said: "I've gone in and Charlie is stood on his hands upside down doing 100 press ups in mid-air singing this song. He jumps up, does a backflip and walks up to the bars and says 'Georgie boy good to meet you'."

At the end of their two hour meeting, Bronson gave George two moustache hairs and later told him to get them tested.

Two DNA test results proved pretty conclusively that the criminal had a 99.98% of being George's father.

But Ruth was annoyed that George repeatedly referred to his father as a 'lovely' and 'nice' person due to his crimes, including taking hostages.

She asked: "You didn’t think I’ve just met Charles Bronson the criminal who kept people hostage, you thought what a lovely guy?"

Defending his father, George said: "Yeah in the past he’s been violent and done some evil things, he’s told me that.

"He said 'yeah I’ve done some bad things, 33 of them I deserved but the last 10 I didn't.'"

He added: "I'm very proud of Charlie. He’s been through so much. He has been evil, he has done bad things, there's no hiding from those things. But he is my dad. He has done charity work."

George went on to say Bronson, who he claimed raised half a million pounds for charity from his artwork, is a "hostage of the justice system".

Hitting back, Ruth said: "He has been very violent and has held people hostage. That's why it appears the parole board turn him down because they don’t think he's safe."

This Morning viewers took to Twitter to back Ruth's treatment of George.
